Two Steps to Restoring School Safety. Sketching a New Conservative Education Agenda
Eden, Max
American Enterprise Institute
Conservatives should be for school safety. It sounds so easy that it should go without saying. But the sad fact is that the progressive-minded education establishment has subordinated safety to "social justice." America's schools should not be governed by the whims of progressive groupthink. They should be governed by school boards that are responsive to parents' concerns about what's happening in their children's classrooms. This report presents two steps to restoring school safety: (1) State legislatures should establish a body (ideally a nonprofit organization rather than a subdivision of a state agency) to conduct annual audits of school safety and climate through anonymous, open-ended teacher surveys; and (2) State legislatures should mandate that every school district establish a parental advisory committee on school safety, with an agenda item at every board meeting to raise problems and concerns.
